During the press conference for GMA-7's upcoming Philippines-Korean series My Korean Jagiya, Alexander Lee talked about his leading lady, Heart Evangelista.

The singer-actor revealed, "Before I even learned about this project, I already knew Heart (Evangelista). She’s famous. Even in my school, where there are international students. Actually, they (the students) were talking about Heart. So, I already knew her. So, when I heard about the project, and that she’s gonna be in it, I was like 'Yeah, I want to do it, why not?'"

Xander also has nothing but praise for his leading actress. He told the press, "Heart? She’s too perfect. She’s like a real life princess." The actor also talked about liking the Kapuso star's name. Xander explained, "Her name is Heart. And her last name is Evangelista. I really love that surname. Because, as you know, I’m a Christian. So, I really like it."

Alexander Lee will be portraying the role of Jun Ho, a famous Korean star. While Heart Evangelista is Gia, the ultimate fan girl who dreams of ending up with her ideal type, Jun Ho.

My Korean Jagiya is set to premiere this coming August 21, after Mulawin VS Ravena.
